THE SCHOOL MIDDLE.
May III 1857

The next Legislature should pass
a law to enable the public schools
of this State to keep in operation
during the regular school months
of the year with certainty which
would do away with the muddles in
school affairs which are of such
frequent occurrence in nearly every
county of Nevada. We are contin-
ually told of the immense school
fund which this State enjoys, and
with such a fund at its disposal it
is rather remarkable that there is
such frequent deficiency.
Ormsby county is now suffering
from a deficiency in the school
fund, and the teachers do not know
whether the teachings of the next
sixty days will bring them cent
or not The teachers are supposed
to be employed ten months in the
year, but this year the money is
only sufficient for eight. If they
teach the other two they take their
chances on the Legislature passing
deficiency bill, and all know how
hard this is to do with few mar
row-minded economic cranks fight
ing the proposition. If they get
their pay in school warrants and
wish to realize ready money they
will only be able to dispose of the
warrants at a heavy discount, and
In any event they are bound to be
losers.
Last evening an exhibition was
given by the school children to
raise money for the purchase of
school organs. The organ is a
necessary adjunct of a school, and
there ought to be funds to pay for
these things without the necessity
of turning a public school upside
down and breaking up the best part
of month in rehearsals and drills.
The time thus taken up is loss to
the scholar, teacher and everybody
else. This State should assume
a more liberal policy toward its
schools.
